Purchased our 2017 179 2 months ago....it came with D tires from the factory....made me happy!  Check them before you buy new ones!

Just finished a trip from Florida to Ohio had both tires at different times blow out and demolish the fenders. Air pressure was 50psi and had an even load under 3500 lbs. There were only about 3,000 miles on these tires. I am not a happy camper.

What was the date on the tires.
There are two types of people in the world. Those who like RPODs and those who are wrong.

And were they C rated or D load rated?

Thus the reason I went with D rated tires, all I can say.

I just did the same. Was going to put the Carlyle tires on but went with the Goodyear instead. D rated and heavy sidewalls with a higher speed rating. Not cheap but should be worth it.
